00:03.270 --> 00:04.130
Captain Narumi!

00:04.600 --> 00:05.830
That's...

00:05.830 --> 00:07.040
not the director!

00:11.210 --> 00:14.720
The one with the Kaiju weapon?

00:14.720 --> 00:19.440
I killed him and fused with him.

00:19.440 --> 00:22.740
I refuse to believe that!

00:23.540 --> 00:24.570
Kikoru?

00:26.310 --> 00:27.730
Oh?

00:28.310 --> 00:31.570
So you're his daughter?

00:31.760 --> 00:33.190
Don't look, Kikoru!

00:33.570 --> 00:35.650
So I'm just going to leave.

00:35.650 --> 00:36.810
Like hell you are!

00:39.810 --> 00:41.720
Give back the director.

00:49.580 --> 00:53.120
<i>The thing that killed my father 
is right in front of me...</i>

00:53.570 --> 00:54.920
<i>But I...</i>

02:45.610 --> 02:50.670
<i>It's me and Captain Narumi together 
against just this thing...</i>

02:54.790 --> 02:56.920
<i>But it's winning!</i>

03:02.670 --> 03:07.440
Now, I'll be going.

03:13.680 --> 03:14.820
No. 8!

03:15.240 --> 03:16.820
Now's our chance!

03:20.180 --> 03:22.650
<i>That undodgeable attack...</i>

03:29.520 --> 03:33.030
<i>The rejection response keeps me 
from hardening my body.</i>

03:40.880 --> 03:43.640
<i>He's the real problem.</i>

03:44.200 --> 03:47.220
I'm not letting you leave.

03:47.550 --> 03:50.550
Because... this...

03:57.870 --> 04:04.290
This just isn't fair to her!

04:10.380 --> 04:15.930
<i>Interfering with the healing process 
accelerates the rejection response.</i>

04:16.410 --> 04:18.180
<i>That settles it.</i>

04:18.180 --> 04:22.170
<i>As I thought, my last big hurdle...</i>

04:25.130 --> 04:26.560
<i>is you.</i>

04:34.520 --> 04:35.520
Almost...

04:35.520 --> 04:37.010
Gotcha!

04:38.360 --> 04:43.240
Sorry, but you can't stop me.

04:48.920 --> 04:51.470
This is goodbye.

04:54.570 --> 04:57.170
Kafka Hibino! Captain Narumi!

05:20.100 --> 05:22.610
I guess that's as far as I can push it.

05:22.610 --> 05:27.340
I was just about to lose 
my wonderful new body.

05:34.320 --> 05:35.830
We survived.

05:36.140 --> 05:39.700
Now get ready, asshole!

05:41.080 --> 05:44.460
I should've just done this from the start!

05:45.870 --> 05:46.760
No!

05:51.750 --> 05:53.210
Damn it all!

05:55.210 --> 05:58.300
You can't abandon someone in need.

06:01.530 --> 06:04.890
Humans are strange creatures.

06:04.890 --> 06:07.400
Goodbye, Kaiju No. 8.

06:08.560 --> 06:11.490
When I make my next move...

06:21.050 --> 06:24.070
the era of Kaiju will begin.

07:02.520 --> 07:08.400
When I make my next move, 
the era of Kaiju will begin.

07:12.320 --> 07:17.440
Don't you dare say that with 
the director's face...

07:25.370 --> 07:28.820
Damn it!

07:51.470 --> 07:56.640
<b>Episode 17      I Want to Be Strong</b>

07:52.460 --> 07:53.330
<i>Breaking news.</i>

07:54.730 --> 07:59.180
<i>The Neutralization Bureau has announced
that during the last Kaiju disaster,</i>

07:59.180 --> 08:02.600
<i>Defense Force Director-General Isao Shinomiya 
perished in the line of duty.</i>

07:59.180 --> 08:02.600
<b>Isao Shinomiya Has Passed Away</b>

08:24.630 --> 08:26.120
Ready the guns!

08:29.240 --> 08:30.500
Fire!

09:12.060 --> 09:13.080
Narumi...

09:14.710 --> 09:18.700
It's up to you to protect the 
Defense Force, and this nation.

09:33.060 --> 09:35.540
<i>She never did show up.</i>

09:35.860 --> 09:39.990
<b>Director's Office</b>

09:37.660 --> 09:38.750
<i>That girl...</i>

09:43.530 --> 09:46.500
You sure you didn't want to go say goodbye?

09:50.020 --> 09:51.960
I couldn't do anything.

09:54.300 --> 09:56.520
Because I was too slow...

09:56.520 --> 09:58.090
That's why I didn't make it in time!

10:01.200 --> 10:03.330
Because I was too weak...

10:03.330 --> 10:05.050
That's why I couldn't save him!

10:05.770 --> 10:08.260
It's my fault that thing got away!

10:08.780 --> 10:09.690
That's not true...

10:09.690 --> 10:11.170
Captain Narumi...

10:12.350 --> 10:15.840
I want to be strong!

10:19.180 --> 10:22.990
I know my dad's still trapped 
somewhere inside that thing.

10:24.360 --> 10:26.780
I can't say goodbye to him...

10:27.930 --> 10:33.580
Not until we, the Defense Force, 
have taken that thing down!

10:35.840 --> 10:38.040
I'm sorry for losing control.

10:38.040 --> 10:39.900
I'll accept my punishment 
for not attending...

10:39.240 --> 10:40.340
Shinomiya...

10:41.220 --> 10:46.590
I'll make you stronger than anybody
but me by the time we fight it next.

10:47.960 --> 10:50.530
What Isao-san beat into my brain,

10:50.530 --> 10:52.600
I'll beat into yours.

10:52.970 --> 10:54.830
Show me you can take it and produce results.

10:55.350 --> 10:58.310
If you can, I won't punish you 
for not attending the funeral.

11:03.270 --> 11:04.360
Yes, sir!

11:15.070 --> 11:16.370
<i>I swear...</i>

11:17.070 --> 11:18.140
<i>I'll...</i>

11:32.790 --> 11:33.970
What's this?

11:34.220 --> 11:37.990
Director Shinomiya ordered us to 
proceed with this project in secret.

11:39.550 --> 11:41.830
He said if anything happened to him...

11:43.690 --> 11:47.460
I was to show it to you 
and do as you instructed.

11:50.120 --> 11:54.990
<i>Isao, you ass... You always 
make me do the dirty work.</i>

11:56.760 --> 11:58.750
Continue the development.

11:59.260 --> 12:02.340
Get ready for our revenge match.

12:11.410 --> 12:13.130
<i>She threw me off my rhythm!</i>

12:15.110 --> 12:17.360
<i>Platoon Leader Shinonome...</i>

12:17.360 --> 12:19.680
<i>She's incredible at controlling her range.</i>

12:20.560 --> 12:24.190
<i>That's how she can fight on the 
battlefield with that huge gun.</i>

12:24.190 --> 12:26.540
I'm so bored.

12:26.940 --> 12:31.960
When are you going to get to the point 
that I can fight you myself?

12:32.900 --> 12:40.470
All the platoon leaders in the First Division 
have the potential to be captains someday.

12:41.310 --> 12:45.250
It's going to take me about a month 
to beat this game.

12:45.250 --> 12:47.260
I need you to surpass them all before I do.

12:48.620 --> 12:51.990
Unless you've got that level of genius, 
you won't make it in time.

12:53.050 --> 12:55.280
Now, start the game.

12:55.280 --> 12:57.760
You need to start to work.

12:58.370 --> 13:00.250
Platoon Leader Shinonome...

13:02.530 --> 13:05.290
Let's do this again.

13:05.890 --> 13:09.780
<i>Sheesh... She's seriously planning 
to beat me in less than a month.</i>

13:10.390 --> 13:13.120
<i>Having somebody try to come up 
on me from below...</i>

13:13.440 --> 13:15.600
<i>gets me excited, too.</i>

13:16.490 --> 13:17.620
Come on.

13:19.850 --> 13:21.630
So, have you made your decision?

13:22.890 --> 13:27.130
Do we accept Kaiju No. 8 
as part of our fighting force?

13:30.630 --> 13:33.190
<i>Captain Narumi, Vice-Captain Hasegawa.</i>

13:33.190 --> 13:35.200
<i>I have a report about No. 8.</i>

13:42.160 --> 13:45.440
It's been so long since I've been home.

14:03.000 --> 14:05.450
His Kaiju transformation is progressing?

14:05.450 --> 14:06.780
Yes.

14:06.780 --> 14:09.470
Part of him isn't changing back.

14:09.900 --> 14:13.140
There's no precedent for this,
 so we can't be sure.

14:13.720 --> 14:16.230
But if he keeps transforming...

14:16.230 --> 14:17.750
<b>NO SMOKING!</b>

14:20.390 --> 14:21.790
Someday he might...

14:23.420 --> 14:25.770
never go back to being human.

14:27.880 --> 14:30.270
Does Kafka Hibino know this?

14:30.270 --> 14:31.200
Yes.

14:32.050 --> 14:33.250
Where is he now?

14:33.840 --> 14:36.860
He was given permission to leave the base 
to take care of things at home.

14:36.860 --> 14:39.470
Of course, he's being closely monitored, but...

14:40.430 --> 14:44.250
It's possible he may never go back 
to a normal life, after all.

14:57.470 --> 15:01.480
Sorry, there's one more place I'd like to go!

15:28.670 --> 15:31.710
Damn it! This shell's so hard!

15:31.710 --> 15:33.640
The blade's gonna break!

15:33.920 --> 15:37.960
Toku-san, we're gonna burn out 
our heat chainsaws doing this.

15:37.960 --> 15:42.650
Guess we'll have to cut it at the joint 
and shatter the shell with a pile bunker.

15:44.280 --> 15:47.660
You know, seeing all these 
corpses around the city...

15:48.370 --> 15:52.440
Makes me feel like we're the ants.

15:53.020 --> 15:55.030
Hey!

15:58.430 --> 16:00.270
Kafka!

16:00.270 --> 16:01.940
It's been so long!

16:03.200 --> 16:04.380
Hey!

16:04.920 --> 16:07.510
I popped by HQ and they said you were here.

16:07.510 --> 16:10.850
Hey, what's gotten into you?

16:10.850 --> 16:13.470
I remembered I still had something of yours.

16:13.880 --> 16:16.260
<b>What the Millionaire Knows</b>

16:14.260 --> 16:15.090
Here.

16:16.250 --> 16:19.820
You didn't need to...

16:28.950 --> 16:30.690
How's life at the Defense Force?

16:30.690 --> 16:31.270
Hey!

16:34.760 --> 16:36.500
Is this the new version?

16:42.850 --> 16:44.700
This is great!

16:44.700 --> 16:47.320
It's hard to make the little 
adjustments, though.

16:47.320 --> 16:48.510
Like near the blood vessels...

16:51.820 --> 16:53.590
Y-You did it!

16:54.640 --> 16:57.370
He worked here for ten years, you know.

16:57.370 --> 17:03.100
You know, since you left, 
they've got me doing more intestinal work!

17:03.100 --> 17:05.860
You've realized how much
 I carried the team, huh?

17:05.860 --> 17:08.260
That really sucks.

17:09.530 --> 17:12.160
I wish you'd come back.

17:13.120 --> 17:15.910
You're on the bottom of the ladder 
in the Defense Force, right?

17:15.910 --> 17:18.210
Here you'd be the team star!

17:21.010 --> 17:22.970
Wh-What?

17:23.910 --> 17:26.930
That's what you get!

17:26.040 --> 17:30.680
Okay, time to get to work!

17:31.250 --> 17:34.040
What's No. 8 doing?

17:46.560 --> 17:49.950
What happens now, though?

17:51.110 --> 17:54.730
I mean, Isao Shinomiya's dead.

17:54.730 --> 17:58.560
When I was a kid, 
he was like an invincible hero.

17:58.980 --> 18:02.990
I feel bad for Kafka saying this,
 but shouldn't we get out of the city?

18:04.410 --> 18:07.810
I mean, Toku-san, you've got 
your daughter's wedding coming up...

18:07.810 --> 18:09.000
Dumbass!

18:09.260 --> 18:11.080
I'm not going anywhere!

18:11.080 --> 18:13.000
If we run...

18:13.240 --> 18:18.260
Who's gonna clean up the pieces
 once the Defense Force blows No. 9 to bits?!

18:23.150 --> 18:26.630
Toku-san can be pretty cool sometimes.

18:26.630 --> 18:28.510
Even though he's just a drunk.

18:29.270 --> 18:31.940
Even though he's a gambling addict
 who owes me 50,000 yen.

18:32.320 --> 18:33.810
Shut up!

18:34.580 --> 18:39.010
<i>I know Japan's Defense Force 
ain't gonna lie down and take this.</i>

18:40.120 --> 18:42.600
<i>Right, Kafka?</i>

18:50.370 --> 18:53.960
<i>I don't want to see my friends 
getting hurt anymore.</i>

18:56.670 --> 19:00.220
<i>I have to beat No. 9...</i>

19:07.460 --> 19:09.130
I'm going to just come out and say it.

19:09.990 --> 19:12.480
I can't let you stay in the Defense Force.

19:13.640 --> 19:16.220
You know why, right?

19:16.580 --> 19:21.740
If you keep transforming, you might never 
be able to go back to being human.

19:22.390 --> 19:25.600
I can't let somebody like that fight.

19:25.990 --> 19:27.190
<i>But...</i>

19:28.010 --> 19:30.080
<i>Even so, I...</i>

19:31.540 --> 19:32.530
With that said...

19:34.030 --> 19:36.680
I'm gonna say this, knowing all that.

19:37.280 --> 19:40.380
Help us, Kafka Hibino.

19:41.120 --> 19:44.770
I don't give a shit if you 
turn into a Kaiju forever.

19:44.770 --> 19:46.630
If that happens, I'll just kill you.

19:47.010 --> 19:49.930
That's how bad I want No. 9 dead.

19:49.930 --> 19:51.900
No matter what I have to do.

19:52.460 --> 19:54.540
And you feel the same way, right?

19:55.140 --> 20:00.230
We were the only ones there when it happened. 
Only we know how it feels.

20:00.660 --> 20:04.110
I know you're not going to refuse. 
There's no chance.

20:10.780 --> 20:14.190
I've... got a place I'm trying to get to.

20:15.420 --> 20:20.420
The director overruled everybody's objections 
to give me a shot at getting there.

20:23.430 --> 20:25.450
I'm ready for whatever comes.

20:28.890 --> 20:30.070
Yeah?

20:31.950 --> 20:33.090
Then come with me.

20:35.820 --> 20:37.120
From here on out...

20:47.560 --> 20:50.030
It's our turn. The Defense Force's turn.

20:57.550 --> 20:59.880
You're finally awake, huh?

21:01.020 --> 21:02.730
Have a nice nap?

21:06.520 --> 21:08.820
Kaiju No. 10.

22:40.070 --> 22:42.780
Soshiro Hoshina's "Hoshi Night Japan"!

22:44.240 --> 22:46.020
Here are our guests for this week.

22:46.020 --> 22:48.460
I'm Mina Ashiro, 
captain of the Third Division.

22:48.460 --> 22:50.170
I'm Konomi Okonogi, operator!

22:50.170 --> 22:52.040
Here's this week's letter.

22:52.040 --> 22:54.160
From radio name "Okonomina-san"...

22:54.160 --> 22:56.030
I'm interested in becoming an operator.

22:56.030 --> 22:58.720
Can you tell me what parts of the job 
are hard or rewarding?

22:58.720 --> 22:59.540
Okonogi-chan.

22:59.540 --> 23:02.960
It's times like this that are hard.

23:03.290 --> 23:07.770
Releasing limiters has a big effect on
 the surroundings, so you need to get approval.

23:07.770 --> 23:11.260
If you bypass the approval process, 
you have to write a report.

23:11.260 --> 23:12.980
The Third Division does that a lot,

23:12.980 --> 23:17.030
so I pay a lot of attention to 
the wording and justifications I use.

23:17.030 --> 23:18.630
Oh, I see...

23:18.630 --> 23:21.090
Especially when a Kaiju gets blown to bits.

23:21.090 --> 23:23.940
I have to make a lot of calls 
to the cleanup companies.

23:23.940 --> 23:26.230
It's hard, but since I don't 
get to go out in the field,

23:26.230 --> 23:29.030
it makes me feel like I'm supporting 
everyone, so it's very rewarding!

23:29.030 --> 23:30.970
S-Sorry, Okonogi.

23:30.970 --> 23:32.240
Huh? What's wrong?

23:32.240 --> 23:34.560
See you next week on "Hoshi Night Japan"!

23:34.560 --> 23:36.160
Thanks, Okonogi-chan.

23:36.160 --> 23:38.030
What's gotten into you two?!

23:38.040 --> 23:40.030
<b>To Be Continued</b>
